Scent container and a drinking device head
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing drinking devices with integrated scent elements suffer from hygiene issues due to non-replaceable suction nozzles, which can harbor bacteria, and contain undesirable additives like stabilizers and sugar, posing health risks.
Innovation Solution
A detachable scent container with a sealing shell and suction nozzle, featuring openings for airflow, allows users to replace scent containers and suction nozzles independently, ensuring hygiene and safety.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If the suction nozzle is integrated into the head and non-replaceable, then the device structure is simpler, but bacteria can easily breed in the suction nozzle creating safety hazards
Solution Approach 1:
The invention divides the suction nozzle system into separable components: the suction nozzle is detached from the head and integrated with the replaceable scent container. This segmentation allows the suction nozzle to be replaced together with the scent container, preventing bacterial accumulation and ensuring hygiene safety while maintaining relatively simple device structure.
2Ease of operation
If the suction nozzle is arranged on the head for direct drinking, then the drinking function is more convenient, but the suction nozzle cannot be replaced and is not easy to clean
Solution Approach 1:
The suction nozzle is separated from the head and combined with the scent container as an integrated replaceable unit. This allows users to replace the suction nozzle by simply replacing the scent container, maintaining convenient drinking operation while dramatically improving cleanability and replaceability.
3Reliability
If a scent element is connected close to the drinking container, then the scent perception is enhanced, but the suction nozzle becomes non-replaceable and harder to maintain
Solution Approach 1:
The scent element and suction nozzle are merged into a single integrated component that is detachably connected to the head. This merging maintains close proximity for enhanced scent perception while enabling easy replacement and maintenance of the suction nozzle through scent container replacement.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The solution provides a safer and more hygienic drinking experience by allowing users to replace scent containers and nozzles, ensuring the liquid ingested is free from bacteria and undesirable additives.
Implementation Method 1
an aromatic space for placing aromatic substances is surrounded and formed by inner side wall of the sealing shell and outer side wall of the suction nozzle; at least one first opening for air to flow into the aromatic space is arranged on the sealing shell; at least one second opening for air to flow out is arranged in the sealing shell and on the suction nozzle

AI summary
The present invention discloses a scent container and a drinking device head. The scent container comprises a sealing shell and a suction nozzle. One end of the suction nozzle is arranged in the sealing shell, and other end protrudes upward from upper surface of the sealing shell; inner side wall of the sealing shell and outer side wall of the suction nozzle surround and form an aromatic space for placing aromatic substances; at least one first opening is arranged on the sealing shell for air to flow into the aromatic space; and at least one second opening is arranged inside the sealing shell and located on the suction nozzle for air to flow out. It increases the taste experience, and when replacing the scent container, the suction nozzle can be replaced at the same time, which is safer and more hygienic.
